Spotted 4 135's today 10/31 at NJMP Thunderbolt
Are you on here?
Today was my first ever trackday...well, it was a 1 session/1 classroom hyperdrive with PDA and I had a blast! I also got some passenger seat time in a Mustang GT and got to ride with an instructor in a '11 Cayman S....I liked Caymans before today but I have a lot more respect for them now! What a car! I think i'm hooked!

I don't think there was just one other 135. There were at least two (one blue and one grey doing the time trial; Carl Mehne is his name I believe) Possibly more

Sounds like you didn't get a chance to ride with Steve in the M3? That would've been a fun ride too for you. Quote:
Glad you had fun though and it was pretty funny to be able to hook up. |

I really have to give you credit that my first day tracking wouldn't have been as fun without you as a guide! Got to shake hands with quite a few instructors and know who to see for next season. Thanks to you, not only did I track my car today (although slowly) but got to experience what 7/10ths in a Cayman S by an experienced driver was like and my first time on track in that Mustang you took me out on...got my blood rushing, especially after you pushed it lol My 135i although never track tested before today felt very confidence inspiring and I can't wait to take it out again at a future full HPDE. Thanks again for letting me hang and introducing me to everyone! I really was track-ignorant before seeing you today!

I walked by you a few times I think but you had a group of people and I didn't want to seem like a total utter n00b asking you n00b questions in front of your friends and looking like an ass.
But yeah...I spent most of my time if not during my session, meeting some instructors with Kieran trying to be a passenger.

I was one of them. White 135i with white #7 stickers. It was nice to see more 135i cars than usual. Glad to here you liked the track day. See you next season.

but you seem pretty into this. you should just throw some brake pads on, change the fluid (i like Brembo 600), and take it on the track next spring. i go to Watkins Glen a lot, and that's an awesome track. NJMP is much more forgiving if you go off tho... |
